Summary: I love Mackenzie always ... :)
Review: Besides the fact that I have been a Mackenzie fan since GARBAGE PAIL KIDS...if this was my first time seeing him I would have still loved it ..it was such a goooooooooood movie ...it made me all squishie inside.....they were so cute together....and I don't know about others but I would adore having a love like that....and yes it is exhausting to love like that but so is everything else in life ...all in all it is a wonderful movie...and Jennifer Aniston in it was a plus ...goddess bless :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Who's to say what's real?
Review: Maybe this beautiful movie really is Reality and not a "too-idealistic fantasy" as some cynics may suggest. Maybe the rest of the world has just given up and settled too easily and our true reality really is "mad passionate extraoridinary." I for one am going to try living the oft-quoted "mediocre" line. If you are ready to open your mind and heart, you must see this movie! Sometimes life can imitate art!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "All men are inherently evil"
Review: This movie is one of the best movies that I have ever seen!! I have only owned it for a month and I can quote the entire movie. The dialogue is a bit too intense for a twenty-something woman, but other than that, I am mesmerized.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Where have you been Ione??
Review: I have to admit that I cannot add much more to the glowing reviews offered before. However, I must say that the scene where David and Frankie first make eye contact is one that I will never forget. Jennifer Aniston is perfect in her role, and it shows me alot that a bigger name star is willing to fill a smaller role like that! ALL my friends (guys and girls alike) now have copies of this movie...you should too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Words To Live By
Review: ... After seeing it on HBO in 1999, I bought it immediately. The film may not be as realistic as some other[s] had hoped, but why should it be? It's a modern version of an old fashioned love story...something I'd like to see more of. Skye and Astin make a wonderful pair. From the moment Frankie and David's eyes meet, it's instant chemistry. Frankie's philosophy really spoke to me...I have a few of her quotes posted here and there to remind me to "never settle for anything less than what we deserve". I have made "Dream" addicts of my friends and a few co-workers as well... every person that I've introduced this movie to has purchased it. I was thrilled to see it come out on DVD for my VHS copy had become quite worn out!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Too Good For Words
Review: I absolutely LOVED this movie! The first time i saw it it was on HBO and i was so mad that i didnt know the name of this movie.. I didn't even know Ione Skye.. so i looked of Jennifer Aniston and there it was! I dont understand how anyone could ever think any less of this movie.. it was amazing, and there were so many quotes to live by. "We have to settle we so many mediocre things in life. Love shouldn't be one of them" I truly admire Ione Skye and her character, they are both very strong people, and she was great for the part. Aniston should not have been the lead, she was amazing in her own role!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dream for an Insomniac-- a review written by an Insomniac :)
Review: I saw the title of this film, and by chance I picked it up and decided to rent it. I watched it right after I watched Reality Bites (I was into a whole depressive thing today I guess), and I watched it through the eyes of someone who knows what its like to not sleep. At first I thought something was wrong when the movie started out in Black and white, but it was made clear of the purpose for that once Frankie meets *the One*. I loved this movie because I imagine all the time that the guy I love (who sadly knows not about that) would try to help me sleep... (hes an insomniac too), because I know what its like to not go to sleep because of being tired of being alone. Watch this movie if you are in love :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Frank Sinatra. . .
Review: Any movie that idolizes Frank Sinatra can't be all that bad, right? This movie doesn't let you down. Not since "Say Anything" has Ione Skye pulled off this kind of romantic comedy. And as most cult classics start out as sleepers, this one may sneek up on you as well. If you don't like it now, wait a few years and try it again. The script is actually funny and the only thing that's questionable is Jennifer Aniston, then again she usually is.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Hmmm....
Review: I saw this movie last week, and it wasn't bad. I enjoyed watching it, as I usually enjoy watching chick flicks. As with many chick flicks, this had some seriously bad dialogue, inconsistant acting, unbeleivably good luck for the heroine, and countless cliches. Oh yeah, it's so deep that her world turns color after meeting Mr. Right, riiight (deep meaning in that one. it took what, 2 seconds to figure that one out?) Besides that, I just have problems with the whole "anything less than mad passionate love is a waste of time." Hello? You can't live like that; it would be totally exhausting. The one cliche they missed, and should probably remember is "still waters run deep." Ever read Sense & Sensibility? Sometimes the sense works way better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: for the closet romantics
Review: I found this movie to be sweet, charming and hopeful. If you like quotes it might just steal your heart since the the "meet cute" scene entails the leads wittily quoting back and forth at each other. The characters seemed like they might have deserved more plot, but were none-the-less intelligent, in the oh-yeah-I-know-someone-like-that way, even if you don't. Although this movie isn't nessesarly for everyone I highly recomend it.

(If you would like to see the lead characters in a more highly developed plot I direct you the director/writer's book, God Shaped Hole.)
